Introducing CubeRacer! Solve and chat with cubers all over the world

[MegaAmoonguss]

Hi all! Back when I was really into speedcubing, TwistTheWeb was all the rage. I loved that site and was sad to see it shut down. About a year ago, I was spending a lot of time making a modern site that works similarly to it. I put the project aside for a while but figured it would be good to give it some love again and especially to get user feedback!

So here it is, CubeRacer: cuberacer.io!

Some features:
- Real-time solving and messaging
- Public and private rooms
- Session history
- Mobile experience

Please note:
- The site is under active development, there may be bugs, but everything has been well tested
- It is running on a small server and may crash if there is too much activity. I will be paying attention to this and scaling as needed
- Not all WCA puzzles are supported yet, I would have to write a scrambler for Square-1 and Magic Clock in Elixir. If you'd be interested in helping, reach out to me
- If you are going to use the site, please stay respectful towards others, as well as the server

I'm looking for feedback!! I want to make the best site possible. Don't hesitate to reply in this thread, message me, email me, or join the Discord I created for this purpose: https://discord.gg/MdCZJHXPJu

Once again, the link is cuberacer.io

Oh and a note for computer people, this isn't open source yet because there are some salts and whatnot that I might need to hide. If you're interested in working on the project, let me know and we can figure something out. If you would like to write a Square-1 or Magic Clock scrambler in Elixir, that code is already open source here and I would love your help!

interesting thanks for creating this and the design is so pleasing!

I did some solves and it's pretty good. maybe implement wca countdown

one problem I faced is that anyone can set next round and sometimes one cuber skip a round, messing with the average

implement new events also would be cool

 

[G DA CUBER]

Amazing software. Really fun!

 

[cuberswoop]

Vc option would be amazing. Maybe also add more to your profile, because right now it's basicaly a webpage with your name on it.

I think voice would be more complicated to implement

 

[Swagrid]

hop in boys we're taking this website for a spin

EDIT:
Alright it was a fun hour I got two consectuive EO skips and an 8.7 ao12

 

[Arcanist]

Website is very cool.

[ProStar]

Looks amazing! Can't wait to try it out

 

[Luke Solves Cubes]

I love this! This deserves so much attention. I was wondering if you could allow 1027 as a time instead of 10.27?

 

[lucazdoescubingstuff]

nice! i could use this for my upcoming forum comp! and i can challenge fellow speedcubers

 

[Cuber987]

My main problem is that anyone can press new round which can cause problems, and you can't change results. This means if you accidentally start and stop the timer you have to make it a DNF.

 

[Cuber987]

Anyone want to race me on there?
